I love only-war they have some really good class info.  I really enjoyed the one about the Iron Breaker but I love the dwarf and grudge!

From PAX:

Ironbreaker – I put off playing the Ironbreaker until the very end. Why? Because I don’t like Ironbreakers. I don’t really care for Dwarfs. I’ve never really gotten into the whole idea of Grudges. A career described as heavily defensive typically translates to “A career that is heavily mocked by DPS careers”. However, before leaving PAX, I finally decided to bite the bullet and play one. Oh. My. Freaking. God.

I’ve never experienced tanking like this in any game, let alone a PvP-based MMO. The defensive capabilities of this career are mind-boggling, I can’t even begin to describe it. DAoC fans will be happy to know that Mythic has brought back the “Guard” ability, which splits damage between you and a targeted ally. Then there’s of course “Taunt”, which by itself is probably the most powerful defensive ability since the fabled-Bubble Hearth-but without the crap. Ironbreakers also have “Stances”, which I haven’t heard talked about. One of them increases Morale gain for your group, the other increases your defense. I’m sure there will be others, but I only saw those two. This is the first time in the history of MMOs, for me, where I’ve felt like tanking is as significant as healing in PvP, if not moreso.

To give you an idea of the Ironbreaker’s defensive power, myself and a Runepriest held our ground against a group of 6 Greenskins for several minutes before we finally went down. I have no idea where our group was, but there you have it.  And that’s without even touching on the Ironbreaker’s offensive potential. You’ve been told that the Ironbreaker’s gimmick is Grudge. This is a lie. The Ironbreaker’s gimmick is hitting like a freaking freight train if you so much as look the wrong way at one of his groupmates. Morale abilities included an attack that did either 4 or 6 instant attacks, depending on how close to death your opponent was (Your Time is Now, I believe), an ability that instantly gives Grudge points, an AoE attack that does heavy damage over 9 seconds, and a Tier 4 ability that basically made me all but invulnerable. Great, great stuff.

Yeah, I remember reading this article ages ago and smiling the whole way through.

It is not that I wanted to be an Ironbreaker, or wanted to be one afterwards, it was just how damn cool tanks and the careers in general sounded because of this example. Finally, a balanced duo of a tank and a healer could stand their ground and not die in 5 seconds to a swarm.

"Your Time Is Now" especially sounded sweet, I must say. The mechanics behind it really intrigued me and have me salivating at what the morale abilities will be for all the careers.

Its tough to follow all the different forums. Because a lot of the posts are the same ...just on a different site. I chose to just stick with MMORPG.com and Warhammeralliance.
